Bah, figured it out. It turns out that by default Debian installer configures the network using DHCP and writes the localhost line in the form: | 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost <hostname> This causes an attempt to look up the IP address of hostname to resolve to 127.0.0.1, which when a reverse lookup is done to get a FQDN comes back as localhost.localdomain. The fix is actually to remove the spurious <hostname> from the localhost line and (optionally) add an entry to hosts with the external IP of the machine. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
